Zonal Distribution of Ongoing Projects There is no disaggregated data on the regional distributions of NSA projects. However, it is learnt that most of the projects are targeted to Gambella town. 3.3. Sectoral Participation Aggregation of ongoing projects into sectoral and thematic clusters is shown on Table 5 below. The combined data from regional DPP office and from that of the federal DPPA shows that significant portion of the NSA resource is allocated to formal basic education. In this regard, the ECS/Don Bosco stands as key actor, in both investment as well as coverage. It has hostels in four woredas (Pungido, Lari, Itang and Gambella), and this are valued supports enabling continued educational participation of youth from the indigenous communities. In the health sector, MSF Switzerland has implemented successive emergency-type health projects, and this has constituted major share of the resource allocation. On the other hand, the Carter Centre has been executing the Onchocerciasis Control Programme in parts of Mejenger zone. Most of the NGO projects under the thematic area of food security are indeed emergency relief operations. Projects of EECMY, East and West Bethels are titled as rehabilitation of victims of conflicts. Others, for example EKHCDP and Oxfam/America had projects involving grain distribution. From these observations, it appears that no NSA is involved in implementing integrated food security or rural development project/programme in GNRS. Despite the above generalization, it is interesting to note that NSA are active participants in the conflict transformation and peace building process. Both ACORD and Pact Ethiopia are promoting community dialogue and interactions between leaders of the different ethnic groups and also amongst different social groups of an ethnic group. Through such approaches, factors contributing to the perpetuation of conflict are identified and, where possible, technical and financial supports are provided by the NGOs so that community takes the action for mitigation. For example, Pact Ethiopia in collaboration with Pact Sudan is involved in revitalizing the tradelink between communities on both-sides of the border as means to mitigating conflict. Accordingly, cooperatives are strengthened to maximize gain from transactions.

Peace building 0 3 3 PACT ETH, ACORD, HEKS Social Welfare 1,602,326 1 1 ECS/SDCO/MMM WATSAN 1,367,751 1 1 VIS Total 31,350,656 15 19 Source - based on DPPA and Regional DPP information The peace building participation is not only limited to the 3 international NGOs (Pact, ACORD and HEKS). Instead, all the FBOs and the national human rights and research organization (that is RCCHRE) are involved through the joint framework of Gambella Peace and Development Council (GPDC). More information is provided on the GPDC under section 5. 4. The dynamics in the sector at regional level All the three ethnic-based Regional Development Associations (Agnewak, Nuer and Mejenger) were outlawed from operation in 2005byy the decision of the regional administrative Council. The decision was taken following the allegation that leaders of one of the Associations were involved in fuelling the conflict. It looks; the others were banned so as to impart the political fairness or non-discriminatory nature of the decision made. From the discussion with key regional actors, there is renewed interest of reviving the RDAs. For example, representatives from Gambella have started communicating the federal MOJ regarding the reconstitution of the Mejenger Development Association. 5. Networking The progress in networking amongst the regional NSA is one of the weakest. No one has attempted to bring together NSA belonging to the different typologies. International NGOs used to participate in a monthly status review meetings organized in collaboration with UN organizations. Issues/queries emanating from such meetings were shared with appropriate regional authorities for their respective actions. The initiative taken by the inter-faith groups in establishing the Gambella Peace and Development Council (GPDC) could be counted as a collective effort or a networked approach. Founders of GPDC have had important contributions in the arbitration and reconciliation phase. However, the momentum created is not maintained, and as a result potentials of enhancing role and participation are being wasted. ACORD and Pact Ethiopia are renowned NGOs for promoting networking at national level. In the case of Gambella, both have taken the back-seat in this regard. 6. Dialogue and Cooperation between NSA and Government The government to some extent has encouraged the emergence and participation of strategically important regional NSA like GPDC, GIC and EWLA. In the case of GPDC and GIC, the support extended includes allocation of initial budget and office furniture. The EWLA branch office in Gambella often depends and gets transport services from sector bureaus for its educational outreach programmes to rural areas. A specific case arising from Mejenger zone shows that local government could even endorse informal CBO initiatives for accessing donor support. (Refer insert below). Since 2000, a dedicated young-man called Afera Alemu has been coordinating summer literacy and tutorial classes in rural kebeles of Godere Woreda. The aim of the initiative was to contribute to contribute to education enrolment and quality. Teachers and other college students were voluntarily mobilized to implement the programme. Over the years, participating children displayed attractive performance in academic standards, and this sent messages to key actors: 139
